Living in Buitengebied, Best

Buitengebied in Best is not a neighbourhood in the classic sense. There are no shopping streets, no busy intersections and no apartment blocks. What you do find here are spacious plots, avenues with mature trees, agricultural parcels bordering residential plots, and a tranquillity you won't encounter in the more urban neighbourhoods of Best. Those who live here have consciously chosen space over proximity.

The homes are predominantly detached and mostly built between the 1970s and 1990s, although there are also newer villas among them. Typical of this area are the large plots, spacious garages, and the absence of terraced housing. Streets such as Ringweg, Aarle and the area around the Dommel give a good impression of how varied Buitengebied is: from farmhouses converted into homes to modern detached new builds.

Facilities in Buitengebied itself are limited. The nearest supermarket and primary school are in the centre of Best, a few minutes' cycle or drive away. Primary schools such as Jan Ligthartschool and shops on Nieuwstraat are easily accessible. For sports clubs, you can go to clubs in Best-centre, including football club RKVV Best and tennis club BTC Best. There is plenty of nature in the immediate vicinity: the Dommel valley and the Wilhelminakanaal are within cycling distance and offer walking and cycling routes through the greenery.

In terms of accessibility, Buitengebied is heavily dependent on the car. The A2 (towards Eindhoven and 's-Hertogenbosch) is quickly reachable via the N2. Best station is a few kilometres away and offers direct connections to Eindhoven Centraal and 's-Hertogenbosch. By bike, you can reach the station in twenty minutes. Bus services run via the centre of Best, but are less frequent from Buitengebied than in the more urban neighbourhoods.

Residents particularly appreciate the peace and space. On the Buitengebied neighbourhood page you can read what residents themselves say about living here. A recurring theme in the reviews is the combination of nature and accessibility: "You live here as if you're in the countryside, but Eindhoven is a quarter of an hour's drive away. That's exactly what we were looking for." Less positive are some residents about the lack of public transport connections and the dependence on the car for daily errands.

Compared to other neighbourhoods in Best, Buitengebied is the most exclusive in terms of price and space. Villawijk offers a similar living environment but more embedded in the built-up area, while Hoge Akker offers family homes in a lower price segment. If you find the tranquillity of Buitengebied attractive but have a smaller budget, you could also look at Speelheide or De Leeuwerik.

Is a home for sale in Buitengebied right for you?

Buitengebied mainly attracts buyers who consciously choose space, privacy and a green living environment. The demographic composition confirms this: the largest group of residents is between 45 and 65 years old, followed by those aged 65 and over. Families with children also live here, but the proportion of young starters is limited. That makes sense: with an average sale price of €1,147,000 and an entry price of nearly €950,000, this area is not accessible to starters or buyers with a moderate budget. Movers with equity and dual-income earners with a high income are the most realistic buying candidates.

Honestly, supply is also scarce: seven sales in a year means you need patience and must be able to act quickly when something becomes available. If you are more flexible regarding location, you can also look at rental homes in Buitengebied as a temporary option, although the rental supply here is equally limited.
